So I've pretty much been a slacker on the diet/exercise front lately. I haven't thrown in the towel, but I just know I'm not in the right mindset at the moment. So right now I'm just trying to focus on eating normally and not using food as such an emotional crutch. I'm kind of mad at myself for slacking off this long, but like I said...I just don't feel like I'm going to be able to stick to it right now. Hopefully I can get in gear in the next week or so. I have some trips coming up in the next month, so my guess is I won't get into serious hardcore mode until after those. But I can at least start heading that way.
Grant and I have been talking about trying to focus on eating healthier and stuff partly because of money reasons. It will be a lot cheaper for us if we try to cook more. And neither of us are in great financial positions at the moment, so I think that will help. And eating dinner with him has been a big problem when I have been sticking to my diet because as soon as he suggests ordering chinese or getting McDonalds, my diet goes out the window! lol. So I think cooking more will help us both a lot!
Anyway, not too much else going on. I'll try to write again soon, even if I'm still not quite back on track.
Haha. Steve and I have totally had to do the same thing (for money AND health reasons). I know how hard it is to be good when your boyfriend suggests going for fast food or something!! lol. Honestly, it really helps in the money department and it's been actually fun to cook together, or take turns preparing a meal for each other! It can be kind of a nice bonding experience. Pair a little cheap wine with dinner occasionally, and it becomes practically a romantic night out. ;) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get in shape for the upcoming trip as well! I've had good days and bad...overall, I think I'm doing ok. I'll get way more hardcore into it as it gets a little closer....hopefully!
